I looked down and saw the ants on my computer.
I was like... hnuh...
The ants de-voured my computer.
It was a really good computer.

Ellen, once you feel the ants crawling on your skin, darling, it's time to seek help.
big deal. What's next in the news: Birds fly into Windows server?
All I have to say is ew! Ew! Ew! Ew!!!
It's ok, you can get down off of the chair now, Daisy.
I know more than you drink.
Heh, I was browsing the apple discussion boards when things slowed down to a halt... So I thought, hell, I'll just read slashdot while I'm waiting for this to clear up... Lo and behold, I found the reason. ;)

i used to have a 7200/120 that housed a roach family. that was pretty fucking gross.
i eventually had to take everything in my house and shake it out over a plastic tarp that i ringed with roach killer. some stuff had to be submerged.
moral of the story: never pay $180 a month in rent, anywhere.
go get it
I just remembered, the second (or was it third?) big game released by Maxis on the Mac, long before the PC, was "Sim Ant"...
Revenge is a dish best served with mandibles and insect appendages...
Just because you can mod me down, doesn't mean you're right. Shoes for industry!
You're getting an infestation!

they're features.
Cake or Death? Cake Please!
So traffic lights support genocide? I'll use that next time I go through one on red
Another Steve Jobs company attacked by Antz.
Is Dreamworks responsible?
What are the odds?

I once had a Beige G3 300, and a spider of some description decided that the ethernet port seemed like a pretty attractive living space.
One day, I could not for the life of me figure out why the ethernet port wasn't working. I got round the back of the computer, and noticed a little bit of what appeared to be plastic thread hanging out. I pulled, and pulled and pulled, and I swear I pulled out the longest fucking piece of spider web you'll ever see.

You think you were surprised -- I'm envisioning the world's most alarmed spider as you pull thread out of its ass as fast as it can produce it. Now there's an image for ya.

Never open a burglar alarm panel box in any food establishment if you're the slightest bit squeamish.
Napalm, daisy cutters, nukes, bio and chem weapons have no effect on Fire Ants. You can't kill them, you can just make them move. It's almost like they are natures version of lawyers.

2) Wait for smoke and insect screams to die down

Maybe they were stealing his time?

I don't get it. What's so funny about a button that says "Get Quicktime" on it?
How can we continue to believe in a just universe and freedom to eat crackers if we have no ale?
Maybe they were feeding the babies my lost packets?
I've been telling those mac weirdos the whole time that apple was buggy. Never believed me.
If you don't understand any of my sayings, come to me in private and I shall take you in my German mouth.
From time to time I've found myself chewing on anything I can find. Pen lids and pencils are one thing, and I caught myself nibbling the corner of a NIC a few months ago. I can't exactly describe the flavour. It wasn't offensive, more "interesting". "Interesting" might just be enough to sucker ants in. -b.
I think it's pretty obvious why the ants went for the iBook. Whenever i go on a picnic, the ants always go after the fruit first, especially APPLES. I'm going to get modded off the board for this.
You like your new Mac more than you like me, don't you, Dave? Dave? I asked...She said Yes.
